Welcome to the Cannabis Cautilance Podcast. I'm your host, Tad Hussey of KISS Organics.

This is the podcast where we discuss the cutting edge of growing from a science-based

perspective and drawn top experts from around the industry to share their wisdom and knowledge.

My guest this week is Dr. Monique McHenry.

Monique is a botanist with a background in plant diversity and evolution.

She is the director of the University of Vermont Cannabis Science and Medicine and Plant Biology

Certificate Programs, director of the Medical Cannabis Center for Research and Education,

and co-director of the Cannabis Pharmacology Course at the University of Vermont Medical School.

She is also co-founder of the Case Institute, a plant-based pharmaceutical research enterprise.

Dr. McHenry completed her bachelor's and master's of science at the University of Colorado

and her Ph.D. at the University of Vermont. Now on to the show.

Hi, Monique. Thanks for coming on the show today. Hi, Ted. Thank you so much for

having me. Yeah, I'm excited to talk to you today. Can we start off with a little bit of your

background? You tell me a little about yourself? Sure. So my background's in plant biology.

Currently, I am a professor in the pharmacology department at the Law and Reconnaught of Medicine at the University of Vermont.

And I was one of those interdisciplinary hires so I could teach about the different chemicals found in plants and how they affect the human body.

And I am the director of the Medical Cannabis Center for Research and Education at UVM,

and I run a bunch of our educational programs in cannabis.

That's great.

I definitely want to talk some more about what you have going on at UVM.

But can we start off with just a real basic foundation here in terms of the different classes of cannabinoids?

Sure.
